Some Takeaways from the Longhorn Spring Game

"And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,"Colossians 3:23

Just got back from Spring Game, thoughts:

Sam Ehlinger needs to learn how to chill. Following a first half pick (Note: whatever), Sam put a hard hit on the returner at the two yard line. Stupid, unnecessary, risk.

You don't need to risk your body in Spring Game.

Speaking of Sam taking unnecessary risks with his body, Casey Thompson looked solid as backup. Dude can fly. Some early jitters, but worked through them.

The offensive line needs to stay healthy, the backups look really green.

CDC and the Governor

[Note: The picture above doesn't show it, but the Governor was wearing mom jeans.]

Jordan Whittington didn't get much action until the second half; once he got going, look out!!!

Bru McCoy

On defense, nobody stood out by name. But the unit looked solid. The low score speaks for itself (and the weather).

Breckyn Hegar does not look like Breckyn Hegar with short hair

Speaking of weather, dadgum it got cold.

Props to Chris del Conte for the atmosphere. But, especially, props to Chris Del Conte for the on-field autograph session after the game. We didn't wait in line for autographs, but getting to walk around the field was really cool.

Finally, props to Tom Herman; without him, nothing CDC does matters.

Bottom Line: Great evening (except for the weather), and a lot for which to look forward....
